The Chromologist: Fee Greening

About this episode

Fee Greening discusses her artistic journey and the influence of Gothic design on her work.

  Fee Greening, a dip pen and ink illustrator, is known for her experimental approach to art, rooted in medieval and Gothic design. Sitting down with Paddy, she reflects on the journey that shaped her distinctive style, from her youthful immersion in Gothic and grunge aesthetics while touring with her partner’s band, to a return to the coast, where the rhythms of nature and the richness of traditional folklore began to leave their mark on her work. Recently, Fee brought her vision to life in her first illustrated book, A Dictionary of Fairies. She talks openly about how embracing creative freedom and prioritising self-expression over conventional “tastefulness” has developed her work in new and exciting ways.
